FAQs

Can I use different ribs for this recipe?

Yes, spare ribs or St. Louis-style ribs can also work well, but adjust the cooking time accordingly based on thickness.

Is it necessary to cook the ribs in the crockpot all day?

Cooking low and slow ensures tender ribs, but if you’re short on time, cooking on high for 3-4 hours is a good alternative.

Ingredients

Scale

Ribs

1 rack of baby back ribs

Sauce

4 cloves of garlic, minced
¼ cup dark soy sauce
¼ cup sweet soy sauce
¼ cup raw honey
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp paprika powder
½ tsp cumin

Instructions

Prepare the ribs: Remove the thin membrane from the back of the baby back ribs if desired. This helps tenderize the meat and allows the sauce to penetrate better.
Make the sauce: In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, dark soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, raw honey, onion powder, paprika powder, and cumin. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
Combine in the crockpot: Place the rack of ribs in the crockpot. Pour the honey garlic soy sauce mixture evenly over the ribs, making sure they are well coated.
Cook low and slow: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the ribs are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bones.
Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the ribs from the crockpot. Optionally, you can brush some of the sauce on top and broil briefly in the oven for a caramelized finish. Serve hot and enjoy the sweet-savory flavors.

Notes

Removing the membrane from the ribs greatly improves texture and sauce absorption.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, cook it down separately on the stove until it reaches desired consistency before serving.
For extra smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or liquid smoke to the sauce.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
Serve with steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
